The Magic of The Prestige

Review: The Magic of The Prestige @ Blogcritics.org: "Houdini would often disguise himself and attend a rival escape artist's show. When the proper time came, he would either reveal himself, or get invited onto the stage so he could sabotage the act. In the cinematic equivalent, Borden disguises himself and attends one of Angier's performances to sabotage his version of the Transported Man. With glee, and with uncharacteristic panache, he reveals the secret to the audience, reveals himself triumphantly, and implores them to come and watch his much better magic show coincidently playing in another theatre."
